Red traffic light ticket!
My first offence in 5 years and I need a clean licence for work, so I'm pretty gutted :-( They've sent me the notice but the DVLA have my name spelt wrong- REBEKAM. On my license it is spelt Rebecca. I am intending to sell the car in the next few weeks. Anyone think there is a cheeky way out of this one?! ;) Thanks

I wrote twice for them to correct this and they eventually sent me a letter…

Is it worth appealing this?
My OH got a PCN in his company car on Thursday from a council in London (civil enforcement). The ticket expired at 13.04, and my OH arrived back at 13.08, with the ticket having been issued at 13.07. It says this on the council website: It would seem to me that as the ticket was issued bang on the 3 mins, we don't have a…
